Dates: May 12th - 18th 2008 7 days/7 nights
11-day tour (with 7-day tour option) to watch the Mille Miglia classic re-run in Italy's Brescia. Our tour starts in Villefranche-sur-Mer, 8 miles west of Monaco on France's Cote d' Azur which is also the destination for our Monaco Historic tour, (as a consequence the two tours can be conducted back to back). From here we drive across the Italian border hugging the coastline along the Italian Riviera to Portofino, where our hotel is based at nearby St. Margherita on the waterfront overlooking the Marina. From here we drive north-east to Maranello, the home of Ferrari, where we visit the Galleria Ferrari, a modern museum devoted to Ferraris just around the corner from the Ferrari factory. We then drive up to Lake Garda the largest of the Italian lakes and our base for the next 4 nights. On Thursday we visit nearby Brescia to watch the build-up and the start of the exciting Mille Miglia classic re-run. Over the next two days we explore Lake Garda and the surrounding area and then return to Brescia on Saturday to watch the return of the Millia Miglia cars. After the weekend we then drive west via Lake Iseo to Lake Como, our next overnight stop.We then spend a day touring this attractive lake. We then move on to Lake Maggiore via Lake Lugano and spend a day driving around the final of our Italian Lakes.
